- Why so many statues, lowreliefs, lion flags in Venice?
- All the lions we see remind us of the Saint Patron, the evangelist
Mark, whose symbol is actually the winged lion.
- Is there a particular usual habit to celebrate Saint Mark?
- On 25th April, The Saint Mark's Day, the lovers offer a red rose bud
to their sweetheart. It's romantic to see both grown-up men and shy young
boys going around the town holding one red rose with a very long stalk.
